In 1972, Alaska Sen. Mike Gravel wrote "Citizen Power: A People's Platform," collecting his thoughts on the issues of the day: the environment, health care, nuclear power, poverty and government reform, among others. His writings on war and warfare seem particularly prescient today. Below, an excerpt on the Vietnam War.
"In the eyes of the rest of the world, this country has shown itself to be one of the major problems of world order. Our desire to use power where and when we please has made us one of the world's most dangerous nations. I am not saying that other nations are more peace-loving. It is only that we have the power to be a danger to world peace with no constraints on our nation's leaders but their own moral judgment."
